Nice, comfortable tool By Greg Robinson - Guitar & Amplifier from Melbourne, Australia (Customer's Reviews) Tuesday, September 18, 2012 Keeps the blade properly tensioned, easy to replace blades, no tools required, only light finger pressure. About the only thing that could be improved would be depth adjustability to use up part blades, and maybe a couple of throat depth options for different jobs.
seagull saw By r.smith from Denver,Co. (Customer's Reviews) Thursday, June 28, 2012 fine saw for the price!took a bit of practice,but the end result was worth it!

good tool By DT from New-brunswick (Customer's Reviews) Friday, February 03, 2012 worked great for inlay work, custom inlay was a blast with this little Saw
Awesome tool. By Michael Dailey from Centralia, Wa (Customer's Reviews) Tuesday, January 31, 2012 It is an awesome tool, does exactly what it is supposed to do, and I really like the availability of the 3 different sized blades.
Pearl Saw By J.C. Moranville from Colorado (Customer's Reviews) Wednesday, January 18, 2012 By far the best one out there!...JCM
Great Inexpensive Jewler's Saw By Peter Young from Knoxville, TN (Customer's Reviews) Saturday, November 19, 2011 I had used a jewler's saw previously, which tool is usually pretty expensive. This saw is simple and effective. As with any saw with very slight blades, one has to be careful, as breaking blades is all too easy. But this problem is not because of faulty design; in order to make very fine cuts, one must use a miniscule blade, which means a blade that is fragile. Just take great care in cutting.
Getz Er Dun! By JVan from Granger,IN (Customer's Reviews) Thursday, September 29, 2011 Not a bad saw, certainly not the highest quaility, but works well. I have cut piles of pearl with this and it is still going strong, works good if your just getting started doing inlays..
Great buy By agnusguitars from champaign, il (Customer's Reviews) Tuesday, August 23, 2011 My first go at hand-cutting MOP and this saw made it very easy. Excellent build quality, solid materials, comfy grip.

Ok maybe not so much a celeb, but...
According to PSXExtreme a Playboy model, Jo Garcia (never heard of her, but she's hot) is being signed up to help promote the Vita!
Apparently she's an avid gamer too!

Got a tip for us? Let us know
Dec 18, 2012, 06:29 PM | #1 |
@me.com versus @icloud.com
I have had this happen four or five times over the last few days so thought I would ask...
I am in the process of separating my "personal computing" from my "work computing"...one of the results of this is that I have gone onto a number of sites -- such as macrumors.com" -- to change my e-mail address from an "@business name. com" e-mail address to an "@icloud.com" e-mail address which generates an auto-response e-mail to my @icloud.com e-mail address which I need to respond to to complete the change... The interesting things is that: 1. Although this has worked for most sites there are four or five sites for which this has repeatedly failed. 2. In thinking about this I decided to try to change from @business name.com to @ me.com and...it worked, for all such sites! The question is why are the e-mail NOT coming through to my @icloud.com address but are coming through to my @me.com e-mail address noting that I am using the same computer for both [i.e. no firewall differences], the same e-mail application configured the same way, etc. Thanks in advance for the help, Joel |

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying and, worse than that, every night my router generates a log of daily issues and send it to me via e-mail and i) I can receive it at my @business name.com e-mail address ii) I can receive it at my @me.com and iii) I can NOT receive it at my @icloud.com e-mail address...

Hmm... this is an error I've never heard before. I know that there was one problem with people connecting with their phones to their @icloud.com accounts but it doesn't seem as though that's the problem you're experiencing. Let me get back to you when I talk to one of my Mac head friends - he's a bit more Apple-centered than I am.
As something to get you going while I check back on that, try creating another icloud account and see if it works then.. no harm since it's free. Other thing I thought of was to make sure that iCloud stuff is checked off in System Preferences.

I can will try it and revert back to you about the new e-mail account...it is extremely change given that in my Outlook setup both my @me.com and my @icloud.com accounts are using the same mail server which w eknow works because most of the time I successfully receive the website notifications... |

So this guy, he used to do dev for mobile me and does some stuff with icloud, so I knew he'd be the best person to go to. What he said was to be sure that the said emails are not in your spam mail folder, and that you haven't missed a notification for activation or anything. Afterwards, he said that if you're having this problem on 5 sites, but not on others, that the problem seems to be site specific, and that it's probably an issue with their SMTP sending mail to your @icloud.com account.
& You've tried to email to both addresses and it comes up?
I love this fruit. |

1. There is no spam folder to check (so this added confusion)...I checked my icloud e-mail on both the web interface and through Outlook and in both cases there was no spam folder. 2. How do I fix / resolve the issues with their SMTP sending e-mail to my icloud account...on this point, is this not strange as both the @me.com and the @icloud.com use the same SMTP server address which is smtp.mail.me.com Thanks, Joel |

On the web interface it's called "Junk" lol, sorry for any confusion. It should be the 7th tab down. & I think what my friend, Tom, meant was that the actual website's SMTP was having an issue. To fix this, you get the administrator of the website to change his notification SMTP (assume it's the email notifications), but I doubt you'll have much luck with that (because people are lazy, not because it's hard to do).
My advice at this point would just be to use what works.
I love this fruit. |

Complementary Medicine: Choices Chart
Reviewed by
Brunilda Nazario, MD
WebMD Archive
Here's a rundown of complementary therapies people with cancer might use. Though it would be impossible to list them all, this chart presents some of the integrative treatments that have the best evidence behind them or are the most widely used.
Remember that complementary medicine is never a replacement for traditional medical care. Instead, you should use complementary therapies alongside your chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. Be sure to talk to your doctor about any complementary therapies you are thinking about trying. "Natural" therapies can have side effects and interactions just like conventional treatments.
Treatment | What is it? | Possible Benefits | Possible Risks |
Acupuncture & Acupressure | Use of pressure points to relieve pain and other symptoms | Multiple studies show acupuncture can reduce nausea associated with chemotherapy and reduce cancer pain. | Adverse effects are rare. People who are prone to bleeding should make sure acupuncture is safe for them. |
Biofeedback | Instruction in how to control some of your body's automatic responses -- like heart rate -- using monitors. | Some studies have shown that biofeedback can reduce stress, chronic pain and insomnia. | None. |
Chiropractic Care | Manipulation of the joints and skeletal system. | There is some evidence it reduces back pain and headaches. | Relatively safe, although it can occasionally cause injury. People who are prone to bleeding, have weak bones, nerve damage, or other health problems should check with their doctor first. |
Creative Outlets | Examples are music, dance, and art therapy. | May reduce stress and improve mood. | None |
Fitness | Includes fitness classes designed for people in cancer treatment or recovering from it. | Research suggests hypnosis can reduce stress, improve mood, reduce cancer pain, and reduce nausea caused by chemotherapy. | None |
Massage | Kneading and rubbing of muscles and soft tissue. | Some studies show that massage can reduce stress and anxiety. Others suggest it may also reduce cancer pain. | Risks are low. People who are prone to bleeding, have weak bones, nerve damage, or other health problems should check with their doctor first. |
Meditation and Guided Imagery | Calming yourself by using breathing exercises, repeating a word, or imagining yourself in relaxing places | Studies show it can reduce pain, stress, and anxiety. Imagery may reduce the side effects from chemotherapy. | None |
Nutritional Counseling | Guidance on eating a healthy diet. | A good diet can make you feel better and help maintain your weight. | Low, although extreme diets that restrict food groups can be unsafe. |
Reflexology | Use of pressure points on the hands and feet. | Purported to induce relaxation and ease pain. | Risks are believed to be low. People who have weak bones, arthritis, heart disease, or other health problems should check with their doctor first. |
Reiki, Tai Chi, and Other Energy Therapies |
Treatments that supposedly realign "energy" in your body using movement or pressure. | Purported to reduce stress and improve quality of life. | Low. People with arthritis, heart disease, or other conditions should check with a doctor before getting one of these treatments. |
Supplements and Alternative Medicines | Use of vitamins and alternative medicines extracted from plants. | Some may ease symptoms from cancer and its treatment; others are being studied for their effect on cancer itself. | Risks vary greatly, depending on the particular drug. You should never take a supplement, herb or botanical without your doctor's approval. Some can be dangerous and cause drug interactions. |
Yoga | Stretches and movements combined with breathing exercises. | May reduce stress, improve mood, and increase physical fitness. | Low. But always check with your doctor before starting an exercise program. |

Beyoncé's new HBO documentary, Life Is But A Dream, is set to premiere on HBO this Saturday night. While we have already canceled all of our plans that night in anticipation of spending the evening on the couch soaking in the experience, Bey unveiled the film at New York City's historic Ziegfield Theater last night for her most fabulous and well-to-do friends, including dapper husband Jay-Z, pantsless sis Solange, and Her Royal Highness, Queen Oprah Winfrey, among others.
Happy 31st Birthday, Christina Milian! Celebrate With Her 15 Sexiest Swimsuits Of All Time
Christina Milian was criminally left out of out Summer 2012 VH1 bikini awards, and we're still not totally sure why that happened. Probably something as simple as not being seen out and about in a two-piece when we were putting the competition together. But we truly feel horrible, because she totally has what it takes to go head to head with Beyonce for the bikini crown! Just like Queen Bey, she's a talented actress with a singer's voice and the physique of a model. That's why she kills it at all of those professions. There's always next year, Christina!
Despite not tasting bikini royalty, Christina's had a pretty sweet life. She's appeared in movies like Ghosts Of Girlfriend's Past and Pulse, and done turns in classic TV shows like Sister Sister, Clueless, Charmed, and Smallville. She even lived the dream by marrying fellow R&B star The-Dream! Sadly they divorced a short time later, but their union produced baby Violet, who is hands down the cutest thing we've ever seen. Sorry Kim Kardashian's new kitten, them's the breaks. The lovely Christina turns 31 today, so to celebrate/apologize for the bikini awards oversight, we've compiled her 15 sexiest swimsuits of all time!

March Celebrity Madness: Round 13! Who's Your Favorite Singer/Songwriter?
The FABLife is playing March Celebrity Madness this month, putting 64 of our favorite stars into brackets and having you vote to decide our ultimate FAB icon. First we'll be pitting four similar celebs against each other in the divisionals, with the winners pairing (and squaring) off in our Sweet 16 until only one is left standing. It's just like the NCAA, except…ok, it's nothing like the NCAA.
Today we're taking a look at four popular singers who also have proven themselves as songwriters. Taylor Swift's Speak Now and Adele's 21 are outselling albums from the bubblegum factory thanks to the singers' personal, revealing lyrics, while The-Dream and Bruno Mars have put their fingerprints on hits for everyone from Rihanna and Justin Bieber to Cee-Lo and Flo Rida while producing albums of their own. All four are remarkable musical talents, but which one is your favorite?
Don't forget, you can still vote for your favorite Hot Actress (Mila Kunis has the lead), Hot Actor (Ryan Gosling's pulled ahead), SI Swimsuit Model (it's all about Irina Shayk), Jersey Shore star (J-Woww's nudged past Pauly D), Gleek (Dianna Agron's keeping past Chris Colfer), Boneworthy Brit (Gerard Butler's beating RPattz), Man Of Action (Matt Damon's holding Jason Statham at bay), Pop Queen (Katy Perry's crushing it), Community Cutie (it's practically a three-way tie, with Joel McHale belatedly leading), Social Network Stud (Jesse Eisenberg's owning), Acting Ingenue (so's Halle Steinfeld) and Kardashian (Khloe's ahead but Kim is gaining). The polls don't close until Friday, March 25th, so vote early and vote often!
It's The Kim Kardashian And The-Dream Team
What do we have here? It's Kim Kardashian and The-Dream chilling at a Knicks game. What going down, guys? Ever since the fake-Kim tune was "leaked", we've been dying to hear a real sample of Kim's foray into the music world. Too bad that Kim tweeted, "So I guess some song was released today and people seem to think its me, sorry guys, it's not me!", because we were ready to bust out some of our finest reviews yet.
And since she's supposedly working with (no-damn-reason-to-be-hyphenated) The-Dream, they need to get off their courtside seats, and back into the studio ASAP! Move it! You have an album to produce which we need to hear.

Kim Kardashian Is Recording An Album. Yes, You Read That Correctly.
How many job titles is Kim Kardashian trying to add to her resume? Designer, entrepreneur, reality TV star and now, singer. Yes, Kim Kardashian is recording an album with The-Dream, who produced Rihanna's single "Umbrella" and Beyonce's "Single Ladies." So is he about to turn Kim into a huge star, or will she join Heidi Montag and Danielle Staub in the rejected pile of reality TV stars who try their hand at singing?
According to sources, "Kim's got a really good voice." Please don't let this turn out like Paris Hilton's efforts. Because the world should not be tortured in that manner ever again. We've been through enough already.
Can Kimmy hack it as a singer? Let us know if you'll listen.

Hey Now, Hey Now, Don't The-Dream It's Over
Well, that was short and sweet. Christina Milian and The-Dream have called it quits on their marriage.  The pair married in September of last year in a low-key ceremony and welcomed baby girl Violet in February. Apparently though, according to a statement released by The-Dream, the couple had broken up before the baby's birth.
The statement reads "Terius 'The Dream' Nash is saddened to announce that his marriage to Christina Milian was unsuccessful. The couple reached this decision in late 2009, but decided to keep the news private in efforts to protect their baby daughter, Violet. They ask for consideration and respect for their family moving forward." We like the wording "the marriage was unsuccessful", it's like an attempt at surgery or a fallen soufflé. As if to say, this one didn't work, but  better luck next time!
The-Dream (whose hyphenated name is about as annoying as Ke$ha's dollar sign) was spotted recently getting cozy on a beach with his personal assistant, Melissa Santiago just days before he released the statement.


text: Let's pretend for a moment that the cops are telling the truth and that Darren Johnson, 43, owner of a barber shop, a Harley Davidson, and – according to police – some cocaine, ran not only a stop sign but a red light as well on his motorcycle. The officers who pulled him over also claim that he "became increasingly agitated and aggressive and struck one of them a week ago Monday in San Bernardino, California. Something in Mr. Johnson's alleged infraction or reaction apparently suspended the rules of fair play, simple decency, and the Constitution, because the two cops ganged up against him. One held him on the ground while the other beat him with a baton "18 to 19 times."

Results are based on transcriptional profiles of 1,240 individuals. [© krishnacreations - Fotolia.com]
(Page 1 of 1)
A group of researchers report identifying 323 unique genes whose expression levels are significantly correlated with smoking behavior. They note that the results offer insights into system-wide pathological processes induced in response to cigarette smoke exposure by determining its influences at the gene-expression level.
The study is published in BMC Medical Genomics in a paper titled "Transcriptomic epidemiology of smoking: the effect of smoking on gene expression in lymphocytes."
The investigators obtained genome-wide quantitative transcriptional profiles from 1,240 individuals including 297 current smokers. Using lymphocyte samples, they identified 20,413 transcripts with significantly detectable expression levels including both known and predicted genes. Correlation between smoking and gene-expression levels was determined using a regression model that allows for residual genetic effects.
With a false-discovery rate of 5%, the scientists identified 323 unique genes (342 transcripts) whose expression levels were significantly linked to smoking behavior. These genes showed significant over-representation within a range of functional categories that correspond well with known smoking-related pathologies including immune response, cell death, cancer, natural killer cell signaling, and xenobiotic metabolism.
The results indicate that not only individual genes but entire networks of gene interaction are influenced by cigarette smoking, the researchers point out. This is the largest in vivo transcriptomic epidemiological study of smoking to date and reveals the significant and comprehensive influence of cigarette smoke, as an environmental variable, on the expression of genes, they add.
Jac Charlesworth led the team of researchers from the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research. The study was done as part of the long-running San Antonio Family Heart Study in families from the Mexican-American community in San Antonio.
"Previous studies of gene expression as influenced by smoking have been seriously limited in size with the largest of the in vivo studies including only 42 smokers and 43 nonsmokers," Dr. Charlesworth notes. "We studied 1,240 individuals, including 297 current smokers. Never before has such a clear link between smoking and transcriptomics been revealed, and the scale at which exposure to cigarette smoke appears to influence the expression levels of our genes is sobering."

Longest span | 700 ft (213 m) × 2 spans |
History | |
Opened | December 6, 1963 |
The John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge is a seven-lane, single-deck cantilever bridge that carries Interstate 65 across the Ohio River, connecting Louisville, Kentucky and Jeffersonville, Indiana. The main span is 700 feet (213 m) (two spans) and the bridge has a total length of 2,498 feet (761 m). There are four lanes that go northbound and three lanes that carry southbound traffic.
Designed by the Louisville engineering firm of Hazelet & Erdal, construction began in the spring of 1961 and completed in late 1963 at a cost of $10 million. The span had yet to be named when U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963. Four days later, Kentucky Governor Bert T. Combs announced that there was wide agreement that the bridge would be named in Kennedy's honor. The bridge was dedicated and opened for northbound traffic on December 6, and southbound traffic began flowing a few weeks later.
Between the late 1990s and 2006, the bridge was covered with rust-like spots and the state of Kentucky had failed in attempts to rectify this, a subject of local controversy. The state twice paid contractors to repaint the bridge who then failed to do so. The attempts cost over $23 million, with little apparent result. The first of the two contracts, awarded in 1999, ended two years later in a bribery scandal that resulted in criminal prosecution.[1]
In October 2006, the state awarded a $14.7 million contract to Intech Contracting of Lexington to paint half the bridge by the summer of 2007. The new contract differed in that the project was split in two, and the original plans for a three color paint scheme were replaced with a simpler all beige colored one. The very southernmost portion of the bridge was completed in three colors (brown, beige, and green), although this will be painted over.[2]
On December 5, 2007, the painting project was completed at a cost of $59 million which included the two previous failed painting projects.[3]
Second span[edit]
In 2013, Kentucky broke ground on a second span as part of the Ohio River Bridges Project, a project to relieve traffic congestion in the Louisville area. The new suspension-style bridge, scheduled to open in 2016, is initially slated to carry all Interstate 65 traffic over the Ohio River while the Kennedy Bridge receives a new deck. When the redecking of the Kennedy Bridge is complete, it will be converted to carry six lanes of southbound-only I-65 traffic, while the bridge under construction will carry six lanes of northbound I-65 traffic.

Originally posted by Sevenstar61 I really like SWTOR but I left mainly due to time. I am a huge fan of SW. While EQ2 is my favorite game and I have been playing 8 years, without a doubt SWG pre-nge was my favorite mmo of all time. So sad it is gone and SOE messed it up. Even though I was mad at SOE for swg-nge I still support EQ2. I was 7 years in WOW and loved my time there but it was time to leave. I will probably play EQ2 on some level until they turn the lights out. |
I enjoyed Ultima Online (11ish-12ish years) and FFXI (5ish years) I currently play and enjoy GW2, Rift, PS2, and TSW I even respect some games I don't like personally like EvE and Pirates 101. |

Just like the people who claim to hate "reality" shows like Jersey Shore and Buckwild on MTV, yet get all giddy and giggle like school girls when they sit down to watch and comment on the recent episode.. It's really hard to gauge "hate" on the internet.. Sometimes an ulterior motive could make it more convenient to dislike something.. Say, like being a fan of another game.. |
I'm a 80/20 PvP/PVEer that's been looking for a new home ever since EA forced me from UO circa 2001. It seems PvPers are a group most companies aren't interested in. Most MMO's I find unappealing or are deleted quickly. The best I've found lately is Guildwars2 for its WvW action. I like the idea of fighting for a cause that's greater than me, in this instance it's control of part of the PvP world for the home server (at least until someone takes it from us). It's far from perfect but it's the most fun I've found in a while. I don't know why it's so hard to find these things in a game:
Though not a utopia, I am hyped for Archeage. It seems to incorporate many things I've been looking for. This 38 second video on siege warfare looks very exciting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-sXKbka_Rbc |

I love lots of MMOs, eventhough I don't play some of them I still have the best memories of them: 1. Everquest - still playing it after 13 years and loving it 2. DAoC - played it from beta to first expansion, some of the best RvR that's still unmatched by any game period 3. UO - back in 98/99 - amazing, my first MMO 4. AC - loved the freedom of that game, had a blast 5. AO - played for about a month but I remember having fun, the launch was very rough 6. WoW - vanilla was great, quit when the 1st expansion launched (and never went back) 7. Rift - played at launch, got bored, came back with SL expansion recently still playing it and having a blast 8. GW2 - had fun for the first 90-100 (hit 80) hours after which I never logged in again 9. TSW - was fun for the first 4 weeks 10. Tabula Rasa - had a blast for the 6 weeks after launch 11. Vanguard - oh what a wonderful world 12. Age of Conan - had a blast with my guild, played on PvP server for 6 months, raided, seiged... awesome fun And the list goes on..... Love is something that happens in the moment |
I'm still playing UO on a daily basis, trying to determine how something that was released over fifteen years ago has managed to trump such technologically advanced games in the simplicity of their design, while providing the tools necessary to keep people playing as long as we have.

No, I do not like mmo's. None of them will meet my standards until they start selling graphic capable computers to everyone, including the poor.
I play Vindictus for the combat system and hope a similar combat system is used in a large MMO. Also played EQ2 for many years because the game had so much potential at one point but SoE just squandered it. Probably time to walk away at this point. Other games I enjoyed were SWG and lineage II. Other than that I can't stand the WoW clones like Rift. |
Originally posted by Novusod I still play EQ2 got my 8 year veteran reward. The game has change mostly for the better but SOE has done some stupid things with it as well. Going on my 17th year playing mmos I have learned to roll with the changes of games I like. As long as I feel I am getting my money worth I stay if not I move on. I have learned not to make even my favorite games so precious that I will not leave or cry over the changes. SWG was my favorite mmo ever but when nge hit I left later that day and never looked back I just moved on. I disagree with your feelings about Rift, I really like it. I played WOW for 7 years and while Rift is similar I get a different experience from it so I do not feel like I am playing a clone but I can see why many feel he way you do about it. Right now Rift is my second favorite mmo after EQ2. I am always looking for a game to replace EQ2 so I hope the next years bring some fresh experiences but I say that every year. |
1) LOVED vanilla WoW 2) Really liked CoH 3) Loved the playstyle from WAR (needed 3 factions) 4) Liked SWTOR, but not enough for the sub fee 4.1) Liked EvE, but prefer characters interacting with each other 5) Tried to like MO 6) Tried to like LOTR 7)Tried to like GW2 8) A variety of mmo's not worth remembering. 9) Wish I had been into MMO's in EQ1 days, AC, and missed DAoC (played a friends account for a while but was busy with school so wasnt worth the investment at the time) 10) hated CO |

I liked most of the MMOs I played while I played them. EQ for 2 years, DAoC for 2 years, then EQ2 about 4-5 years. Since then no MMO kept me entertained for more than 1-3 months. Most of them were still fun, but for a short time only.

Does anyone actually like any of the current mmos? I actually like, EQ2, Rift, GW2, WOW, and a few more. You do not need to tell my why I am wrong in liking these games just tell me what current mmos you like if any. I am just curious. I don't play MMOs anymore but I'm looking to get back into them come Sep. or so when I will have more time. I have noticed there does seem to be a general angsty gestalt vibe here on this site.

Maine bus crashes north of Boston, driver hurt
Wednesday, February 27, 2013
GEORGETOWN, Mass. (AP) — A bus carrying University of Maine women's basketball players ran off a highway north of Boston on Tuesday night, seriously injuring the driver, who police said may have had a medical episode.
State police said 22 other people on the bus, including students and athletic staff, had only minor injuries.
The driver, whose identity was not immediately released, was taken by helicopter to a Boston hospital.
The bus was southbound on Interstate 95 at about 8:30 p.m. when it crossed the median, went across the northbound lane and down an embankment into woods near Georgetown, a town of about 8,000 residents 30 miles from Boston.
Georgetown Fire Chief Al Beardsley said it was a miracle no other cars were involved.
"This is a very heavily traveled road, day and night, and for a bus that size to basically catapult across the road, I couldn't imagine being northbound and seeing that thing coming at me," Beardsley said at the scene.
The University of Maine said Coach Richard Barron was treated for minor facial cuts and three others — players Ashleigh Roberts and Corinne Wellington, and Samantha Wheeler, the team's director of basketball operations — were taken to a hospital for observation. The team was en route to play Boston University on Wednesday night. That game has been postponed, according to the basketball schedule posted on UMaine's website.
"We're very thankful that this accident was not any worse than it was," Robert Dana, vice president for student affairs and dean of students, said in a statement. "The thoughts of the entire University of Maine community are with the bus driver and the team as they contend with this very frightening event."
Beardsley said authorities are still investigating what caused the driver to veer off the highway, which has four lanes in each direction and a broad median. Police say their preliminary investigation indicates he had a medical issue.
The bus remained upright and appeared to have plowed through a roadside snowbank, knocked down a mile marker, and crashed into woods along the road before coming to rest pointing down an embankment.
"He hit pretty high up on the tree, you can see marks," Beardsley said.
The bus was owned by the John T. Cyr & Sons Inc. bus line of Old Town, Maine. A man who answered the phone at the company's office late Tuesday said company officials were gathering information and had notified their insurance carrier.
UMaine Athletic Director Steve Abbott told WHDH-TV in Boston that it was "quite a traumatic ride" and that although passengers were shaken up none were seriously hurt. He said the university has used the bus company extensively and found it to be a "terrific carrier."
A state police car that stopped at the scene was struck by another car. The trooper who had been driving it was taken to a hospital with what appeared to be minor injuries, police said. Police said the driver of the car was not hurt.
Earlier this month, a bus crash in Boston injured 35 people, including high school students and chaperones, from Pennsylvania. The coach slammed into a 10-foot-high overpass on Feb. 2 while returning to the Philadelphia area from a trip to Harvard University.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Expectations that Fannie Mae
"The companies are not returning to their former status," Gardner said in an interview with TheStreet on Monday. A political change after the mid-term elections might change things two years from now, but the KBW analyst says there's broad consensus to wind the agencies down or replace them with something else.
Betting on a scenario where the agencies make a payment on the preferred shares is "highly speculative," Gardner added. "It's based on some good financial analysis but it disregards political reality."
Fannie Mae reported earnings Tuesday morning, posting a record $17.2 billion profit, reversing its nearly $17 billion loss in 2011, on the back of a housing recovery.
"We expect to remain profitable for the foreseeable future and return significant value to taxpayers." Susan McFarland, executive vice president and chief financial officer said in a statement.
The agency also said it expects to release the valuation allowance on its deferred tax asset as early as the first quarter of 2013. Fannie Mae had a valuation allowance of $58.9 billion as of Dec. 31, 2012.
The recapture of Fannie's DTA would provide a major boost to the company's effort to redeem about $117 billion in preferred stock held by the U.S. Treasury, for bailout assistance since September 2008.
Fannie Mae's shares were up over 18% in early trading Tuesday, to 84 cents. Freddie Mac's shares were up 14% to 87 cents.
Preferred shares of both mortgage giants have also been quite volatile. For example, Fannie's preferred series E (FNMFM) shares, with a par value of $50.00 and a coupon of 5.10%, were up 46% in early trading to $0.50. Freddie Mac's preferred series Z (FMCKJ) shares, with a coupon of 5.375% and a par value of $25, were up 15% in early trading, to $3.90.
Both common shares and preferred shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have jumped in recent weeks, amid speculation that the government-sponsored enterprises might soon be able to repay the Treasury, and also have some money left over for shareholders who were wiped-out in the 2008 bailout.
Some hedge funds have held on to preferred shares of the housing giants on a political bet that the government will stop seizing all the profits of Fannie and Freddie and show some willingness to make payments to preferred shareholders.
The preferred shares are seen as a better bet than common shares, which have the lowest priority in the order of repayment.
But the likelihood that shareholders will get anything are slim, according to former Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank.
" "The problem of having a surplus left over in Fannie and Freddie after we've settled all the debts is a problem I'd love to have. I'm skeptical that we will," Frank said in a recent interview with TheStreet .
Please see TheStreet's previous coverage, for much more information on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, including:
- Why the preferred shares are a much better deal for investors than the common shares, by the numbers.
- Why some professional investors are sticking with GSE preferred shares, based on the preferred shares' superior position in the event Freddie and Freddie are wound-down or liquidated.
- Why the successful government bailout of American International Group was different from the bailout of the GSEs.
- How the DTA recapture robs one part of the U.S. Treasury to pay another.
- Possible ways forward for the U.S. housing finance market.

Where Does the Time Go?

Not sure how I ended up with the sleeves in the middle of the sweater with the details on the front and back? Also got confused and instead of doing garter stitch, I did reverse stockinette stitch. Nearly finished so do not want to rip.
But I may want to do this again-what did I do wrong?RepliesHi! Sorry you're having a difficult time. On the joining round, there are a number of sts to work before the sleeve is added. Up to that point, your beginning of round marker has marked the center front. I'm guessing you skipped those sts and went straight to joining the sleeve which is why your garter st side details are in the middle. Also, garter stitch in the round is alternating knit rounds and purl rounds. This info is in the Stitch Glossary at the end of the pattern below the schematic. Hope this helps!

It was not until 1919, with the launching of New York's Illustrated Daily News, that American newspapers began to feature photographs routinely. The Prints and Photographs Division's collections provide an opportunity to examine photojournalism of, by, and for women through several stages of the development of the field, from the news photos issued by George Grantham Bain (sometimes referred to as the "father of news photography") to the political and lifestyle documentation produced by photographers working for Look magazine and U.S. News and World Report.

22 Reasons Everyone Should Love "Galaxy Quest"
If you don't love this movie, sorry, but you're wrong. It has everything: Tim Allen with a mullet, Alan Rickman in an alien skullcap, and Sigourney Weaver with Farrah Fawcett hair.
1. Galaxy Quest is half science-fiction parody, half meta documentary.
• Sigourney "Get Away From Her You Bitch" Weaver as Gwen DeMarco as Lt. Tawny Madison (Uhura/Chapel/Token Female).
• Tim "The Toolman Santa" Allen as Jason Nesmith as Cmdr. Peter Quincy Taggart (Kirk).
• Alan "Always" Rickman as Alexander Dane as Dr. Lazarus of Tev'Meck (Spock).
• Tony "OCD Should Be CDO" Shalhoub as Fred Kwan as Tech Sgt. Chen (Scotty).
• Sam "President Of The Galaxy" Rockwell as Guy Fleegman as a redshirt.
• Daryl "He Looks Familiar IMDB Him" Mitchell as Tommy Webber as Lt. Laredo (Sulu/Wesley Crusher).
4. It totally had a space opera plot, where the washed up actors are called upon to save an alien race.

In mid-October 2005, at Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada. A strong Atlantic storm presented great opportunities for really good ocean pictures. This man and his young daughter were doing the same as I was, trying for the best shots as the storm built up. At this stage, the young gal decided that wind and flying spray were not her cup of tea, so she took refuge behind one of the granite boulders while Dad braved the edge of the cliff and I captured them both. But we all had a fun time! Sony DSCF828 camera.
FEATURED in "The Photographer In Action"
Great shot George – I love the look of the ocean … and I love the humour you have captured too.
It was a fun day, he was trying for the same shots as I was, but the girl wasn't very enthusiastic! Don't think ocean storms are quite at the top of her favourites!
Thanks Stan, for both. Didn't know I had the feature until awhile ago. Trying to untangle this new format on RB,I think there's some major glitches still there.
Hi Della, and thank you! Yep, October storms at Peggy's can be pretty wild, this one got a lot worse but the rain came in sheets and made it hard to keep the camera dry so went for a next scallop dinner instead..LOL!
lol …last time I was there I ate lobster every chance I could…morning, noon and night…I actually couldn't look at it for awhile after that…too much of a good thing lesson comes to mind…lol
Hey I quickly popped by your moose picture on the Cabot Trail…great shot of the big guy…Love the Cabot Trail another beautiful Nova Scotia drive…
My goodness Nancy, what a nice surprise! I'm late getting on the PC today and this is just a wonderful event for me. Thanks so much!
Looks let the real recipe for a great time!
It was fun, and for anyone who loves the ocean and stormy days, it couldn't have been better!
I'm glad it's a moment you'll treasure & thanks for sharing!
My sort of scene George. Wouldn't I just have loved to be there with you and sharing the finger clicking fun! Terrific shot that is well deserving of the features. Regards, Peter
Thanks Peter, I know you'd have enjoyed it too. I think we have the same love of beaches,waves,the ocean..all that must be what helps keep us young..or youngER..LOL!

Hotel Eddystone
It's a well-known eyesore with a little-known history.
The Hotel Eddystone, located at 100-118 Sproat St. at Park Avenue and near the Fox Theatre and Comerica Park, was once part of Detroit's most successful hotel empire.
The Eddystone was the first of three Italian Renaissance hotels built on Park Avenue in the 1920s for Lew Tuller, the owner of the renowned Hotel Tuller. This period in Detroit's history saw a number of the Motor City's most treasured landmarks rise on the skyline. Between 1910 and 1920, the city's population jumped from 465,766 to 993,739. That's an increase of 113 percent. Many came to work in Detroit's factories.
With Detroit's population booming, and tourists were flocking in droves to see the city that put the world on wheels. This led to the demand for hotels to soar, too. From 1924-1925, nearly two dozen hotels were built in the downtown area, adding 5,441 rooms. It's important to remember in this day and age, that many people lived in these hotels; they were not used by only out-of-town visitors.
Tuller had become an incredibly successful hotelier with the Hotel Tuller, which he opened in 1906. It was a gamble. The hotel was north of downtown in a rather swampy part of town without much commercial business or action. But as Detroit boomed, so did the hotel – and so did Tuller's fortune. By the 1920s, the Hotel Tuller was known as the Grand Dame of Grand Circus Park, and it was said that mail from distant parts that was addressed to residents at the Hotel Tuller without any city indicated would still reach guests.
Mere blocks from the Tuller was the Park Avenue district, a major destination for businesses, shopping and nightlife - and it was fast becoming the ideal spot for hotels. It was located near major streetcar lines and a stone's throw from Detroit's financial district. The Statler Hotel, another landmark, was in the area, as was the Hotel Charlevoix and others. In 1923, a group of men who owned buildings and land in the district formed the Park Avenue Association, which set out to turn the neighborhood into Detroit's version of Fifth Avenue in New York.
Lew Tuller gambled again. He hired architect Louis Kamper – the man who designed the celebrated Book-Cadillac Hotel – to extend his own hotel empire. He had Kamper design three large residential hotels north of Grand Circus Park, all standing 13 stories: the 156-room Eddystone, which opened in December 1924; the 250-room Park Avenue, which opened in 1925 next door to the Eddystone; and the 180-room Royal Palms at Park and Montcalm, which also opened in 1925. The three hotels cost Tuller between $6 million and $8 million, ($76.5 million to $102 million today, when adjusted for inflation).
They were all built within a year and gave Tuller more than 1,375 rooms in the city. Combined, the four hotels were worth $12 million in 1926, more than $144 million today.
"I could see a great big, prosperous, growing Detroit plainer in the last six months than ever before," Tuller told Pipp's Magazine in March 1926. "You cannot help but feel that Detroit is going to hum."
But Detroit was humming too much: the city added more than 20 hotels between 1923 and 1926. Like many Detroiters enjoying the boom times, Tuller had overreached himself. The steep rise in competition led Tuller's three new hotels to struggle, and, combined with a series of unsuccessful real estate speculation in Florida and the onset of the Depression, Tuller went broke. The Tuller Hotel remained successful for a time and supported his other hotels, but he lost them one by one.
Foreclosure proceedings began in March 1928 on the Eddystone and the Royal Palms. He lost the Eddystone that year to the Security Trust Co., which quickly flipped the Eddystone to David P. Katz. Katz made his fortune off Detroit real estate and hotels, including Tuller's Park Avenue and the Hotel Fort Wayne in Detroit and another in Miami Beach, Fla.
Katz would own the Eddystone for nearly four decades, until a $2 million fraud scheme that was discovered in 1966 sank his businesses.
The rest of the Eddystone's story is a well-known one. A combination of factors -including the 1967 riot; the introduction of the freeway system; white flight; businesses moving to the suburbs; and increase in blight and crime – bled Detroit of its population and its tax base. Office towers went dark. Hotels closed up shop. Detroit, simply put, became a city of fewer people – and people with lower incomes.
But the Eddystone managed to survive for longer than most. The building remained a transient hotel until the late 1990s before it finally closed.
Plans were announced in the early 2000s that a developer would convert the Eddystone and its sister the Park Avenue Hotel into about four dozen luxury condos with ground-floor retail. The Detroit City Council told the Historic Designation Advisory Board on July 20, 2005, to study the proposed Eddystone Hotel Historic District in an attempt to help the building secure historic tax credits to aid in its redevelopment. A similar one-building district was proposed for the Park Avenue. The reborn Eddystone was to open in the fall of 2009.
But the development never came. The Eddystone continues to sit a ghostly spectre towering over the Cass Corridor. Whether it will one day be redeveloped or will be demolished as part of a long-rumored new hockey arena north of Interstate 375 remains to be seen.
More on this landmark of Detroit coming soon.

The study of cinematic receptions of antiquity has been one of the most vigorous and voluminous areas in classical reception scholarship over the past decade and a half. Whether dealing with historical films, adaptations of ancient literature, creative engagements with myth, or any other permutation of the relationship between antiquity and the present, cinema's fascination with the ancient past pervades not only scholarly research, but teaching too. 'Film and the Ancient World' courses are now a familiar and attractive fixture on many undergraduate syllabuses, perhaps the most common way of introducing students of Classics and Ancient History to reception theory.1 Movies can also be used as tools for teaching other, more conventional strands of the discipline, such as mythology (Rose 2001, McDonald 2008). Most importantly, the production of new 'ancient world' films continues apace, fuelling the fire of both criticism and pedagogy.

Mr.Bubble NewsletterSend us your car stories and we will print them in our newsletter.New connections - WIFI in your carChrysler released its UConnect in-car WiFi option. We could add "buy a Dodge Avenger" to the list, but we probably wont. In-car WiFi will in all likelihood remain an expensive curiosity until infrastructure upgrades allow true long-range mobile broadband access. Information Week says the long-promised and much-hyped in-car WiFi system will be available next week at Chrysler dealerships (stop in theyll be very glad to see you). Expect to shell out big money for it, though: $500 for the router,$50 to install it, $35 to activate the service, $29 a month to use it and $5 a month for rust-proofing and clear coat. Youll have to own your Chrysler now that its stopped leasing cars, and youll pay almost $2,700 to read Autopia behind the wheel of your new 300. Whod pay that kind of money to surf the Web in traffic? And is Chryslers system the future of in-car WiFi? Chryslers service, provided by AutoNet Mobile, most likely will appeal to a niche market of users business people, for example who need access on the road, says Richard Robinson, an analyst at tech research firm iSuppli. Robinson, who used to work for Alpine, doesnt expect Chryslers move to have much impact on other in-car media like satellite radio over the short term. "They can co-exist," he said. You wont see internet radio replace satellite radio, for example, because that "is too much of a jump. Its not a good enough alternative." The long-term outlook is much different. Robinson calls Chryslers early EVDO cellular router system a Trojan horse that portends the coming of viable mobile WiMAX, a wireless standard that makes WiFi look like dialup. That kind of speed and coverage could make in-car internet access commonplace, kill satellite radio and drastically change navigation. And it could happen as soon as 2012. Thanks Frederick!

This is due the way MIPS32 memory space is segmented. Only the range from 0..2^31-1 is available. Pointer values are always sign extended. Because there are not already enough MIPS ABIs, I present the ... Proposal: A new ABI to support 4GB of address space with 32-bit pointers. The proposed new ABI would only be available on MIPS64 platforms. It would be identical to the current MIPS n32 ABI *except* that pointers would be zero-extended rather than sign-extended when resident in registers. In the remainder of this document I will call it 'n32-big'. As a result, applications would have access to a full 4GB of virtual address space. The operating environment would be configured such that the entire lower 4GB of the virtual address space was available to the program. At a low level here is how it would work: 1) Load a pointer to a register from memory: n32: LW $reg, offset($reg) n32-big: LWU $reg, offset($reg) 2) Load an address constant into a register: n32: LUI $reg, high_part ORI $reg, low_part That is not reality. Really it is: LUI $reg, R_MIPS_HI16 ADDIU $reg, R_MIPS_LO16 n32-big: ORI $reg, high_part DSLL $reg, $reg, 16 ORI $reg, low_part This one would really be: ORI $reg, R_MIPS_HI16 DSLL $reg, $reg, 16 ADDIU $reg, R_MIPS_LO16 Q: What would have to change to make this work? o A new ELF header flag to denote the ABI. o Linker support to use proper library search paths, and linker scrips to set the INTERP program header, etc. o GCC has to emit code for the new ABI. o Could all existing n32 relocation types be used? I think so. o Runtime libraries would have to be placed in a new location (/lib32big, /usr/lib32big ...) o The C library's ld.so would have to use a distinct LD_LIBRARY_PATH for n32-big code. o What would the Linux system call interface be? I would propose using the existing Linux n32 system call interface. Most system calls would just work. Some, that pass pointers in in-memory structures, might require kernel modifications (sigaction() for example). |

If you're like many people, you'll be making a New Year's resolution to lose weight, save more money, or both. If you're trying to do both, the good news is that weight loss and saving money often go hand in hand. It's like accomplishing two resolutions at once. Even if you only choose one, chances are you'll find yourself accomplishing the other without really trying. Here's how these two resolutions work together.

A newly discovered glitch in iOS 7.1 for iPhones and iPads can help hide your apps and folders from prying eyes or even from kids.
There are times when we need a couple of folders or unwanted apps to be kept private, although we may not want to delete them entirely from the device; this is where the glitch found in iOS 7.1 comes handy.
According to iDeviceHelpus's Youtube page, a glitch in iOS 7.1 will let users hide those apps and folders.
For this to take effect, you need to download the latest version of iOS 7.1. Here are the steps collated from Huffington Post, Tuaw, and 9to5mac.
10 Steps to Hide Apps/Folders
1. Firstly, find the apps/folders that you would like to hide.
2. Place them all into a new folder (let's call it, "ABC") by dragging them on top of one another.
3. Make sure the dock at the bottom of your iPhone or iPad is completely full with icons.
4. Press down on an app icon to turn on the "wobble mode". In this mode, all the icons wiggle, so as to move the icons around easily.
5. The hardest step ahead: i.e. making a folder within a folder (nested folder).
Create another folder (let's call it, "XYZ") and drag any two random app icons on top of each other into the folder. Then quickly (sic) drag the folder with the apps that needs to be hidden (ABC folder) into the newly created folder (XYZ folder).
Now you have a folder within a folder.
6. Make sure to remove the two random apps added in the main folder (i.e. XYZ folder), so that the only item left in the main folder will be the folder containing apps waiting to be hidden (i.e. ABC folder).
Upon navigating back to the home screen, the folder will look blank.
7. This is an important point: make sure your home screen is full and has no other folders except for the blank one you just created.
If there is any space left in the home screen, drag any random app from your phone into that empty spot and fill the screen.
8. Get into the main folder (XYZ folder) and highlight the folder with apps to be hidden (ABC folder) so that you can move it. Now drag folder ABC out of folder XYZ & out to the home screen.
9. This will make the main folder (XYZ) to disappear within a second. The moment the main folder XYZ disappears, release the folder with apps to be hidden (ABC) in the home screen.
10. Instead of finding a new location on the home screen (now that you have released the folder ABC), it will disappear completely.
You will not find them anywhere, on any screen or within any folder.
Is There a Way to Locate the Hidden Apps/Folders?
You can access them with the help of iOS search feature from the home screen. Type the name of the hidden app in the search bar, you will find the app listed.
How to Bring Back the Hidden Apps/Folders?
You can get back the apps/folders by just restarting the device.
You can use this trick to hide any apps or folders. Regardless, Apple will fix this glitch with its next iOS update.

Yiddish for "beans", or figuratively "nothing, nada, zilch". Can also be an offer so low as to be an insult, and as Leo Rosten noted in his classic "The Joy of Yiddish," "bupkes" is a howl of outrage often heard in the cutthroat world of show business.
